The total revenue from that source in less than seven months was $8,5r>0. These 171 foreign corporations also paid the proportion of the annual license fee due for the unexpired frac tion o f the year, which fee varied ac cording to the capital stock. The rev enue from this source was $17,359.79, making a total of $26,909.79 which for eign corporations have contributed to the support o f this state in a period of less than seven months. During this same tim e 226 new con cerns have been organized in this state, paying organization fees which varied according to the amount of the captia) stock, and aggregating $9,892.97. These 226 new companies, in a per iod of less than seven months, means an average of more than 32 per month, which does not seem to indicate that the Eddy law has prevented the organ ization of corporations or forced them to go to other states to secure corporate authority. The total fees collected by the secretary of state from both foreign and domestic corporations are $36,802 76. Coming Events. Northwest fruitgrowers’ association, Portland, January 11-13.
